While Real Madrid: The future of Jamal Musiala at Bayern Munich has turned into a dramatic cliffhanger, with his intended contract extension now in doubt. The 21-year-old's camp is reportedly demanding an exit clause, a request that conflicts with Bayern's long-standing policy of not including such clauses in player contracts.

Musiala's management is said to be seeking an exit clause valued between 150 million and 175 million euros, a figure that would make the Germany international one of the highest-valued players in Europe. This demand has sparked concerns at Bayern, who fear that agreeing to the clause could set a precedent, potentially transforming the club into a selling club, reports Xinhua.

For decades, Bayern have prided themselves on resisting exit clauses, with former CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge saying, "We don't work with exit clauses, as you give options out of control."
